The NSA memo describes vulnerability' in relation to Signal, true
But it had nothing to do with Signal's core tech.

It was warning against phishing scams targeting Signal users.

FFS "RETORT" at least understand the memo before publishing such a BS headline

Obviously the NSA is full of fraud and waste and needs to be cancelled.

Russia doesn't need app vulnerabilities. Trump freely tells them everything they want to know.
